    yup, it's an online store where people can sell their own designs (http://www.cafepress.com/). they take care of the inventory/production/payment/shipping, and you can set the price. i figure that's one venue i can pursue, won't hurt to try anyway :)

    and thanks, when i do get the shop started i'll pass the link on, the word of mouth would be really helpful!


    oh! I've heard of that. Ok I'm not totally out of the loop!

    Oh that would be neat. That's how you can get started but dream big-you can be famous one day :) And we can be all like, we knew you when. Yeah and you could totally make posters and sell them and flip them and make a book for $250 and..oh, wait, never mind :)

    They're great! Especially the first two you posted on this thread. You could do some cool tattoo's for people if you wanted to do that.

    Congratulations on the exhibition.

    absolutely beautiful work! :) thanks for posting, and congrats on getting the show. it's a lot of fun (and slightly nerve racking at times;)) to get the work together and go through the opening night. you'll have a good time showing people around to your pieces and talking to them about them. have fun with it!

    congrats once again! something tells me you'll get a good reaction. :)

    I love those bold colors.

    I see you're considering cafepress.com. Have you thought about posting on http://www.etsy.com? I love browsing through their art section.
    Walking can be a real trip

    thanks jeanie (what the heck sorta clip is that?! lol), matt, civ and justam! yeah matt i've gotten the tattoo suggestion from folks before, which would be kinda neat. i guess it'd mean i'd have to get a tattoo though, just for authenticity's sake :o haha ow!

    mookie thanks, yeah i'm already wigging out haha it's good to know others here have gone thru this too :)

    urban thanks, i haven't heard of etsy before but i will definitely check it out! i just took a quick peek and they got a duck puppet. they had me at puppet :p haha

    AWESOME!!!!

    Congratulations B!!!! I'd love to be able to see the show!! Your work is beautiful! I love the rose and the black sunflower!!!

    Cafepress would be a great idea!! I don't know if it would make you a katrillionaire... but it's a great way to get your art out there... and an excellent way for folks like us to be able to 'have' a piece of your work on something to call our own!!

    Looking forward to more updates... and samples :)
